Arc 20The Swordmaster’s Conquests
Wang Hao repaired his bloodline, became the Land of Iron’s general, and defeated the Five Kage before expanding his influence through war and bargains. He left the Land of Lightning with an alliance, new disciples, and a deal for its precious ores.
- Wang Hao reached Hamura Otsutsuki’s Giant Tenseigan, gained Hamura’s golden Tenseigan and cultivation knowledge, and learned that the Sage of Six Paths had corrupted Hamura’s seal into the Hyuga Clan’s Caged Bird Cursed Seal.
- Wang Hao defeated Yagyu Sōichi, restored the Ancient Sword Dao, and won the Battle of Swords by defeating General Amane, who entrusted the Land of Iron to him before dying.
- Wang Hao lured the Five Kage into attacking, survived their assault, and led the Land of Iron’s forces against the Land of Fire while defeating Hiruzen Sarutobi’s armies.
- Wang Hao’s forces seized the northeastern region as the Leaf faced invasions from the Stone, Cloud, and Sand, and the Five Kage eventually negotiated an end to the conflict.
- Wang Hao secluded himself to improve his cultivation, gave Mifune his sword dao method, and traveled to the Village Hidden in the Clouds to challenge the Third Raikage and propose a deal.
- Wang Hao defeated the Third Raikage’s Hell Stab, gave him Gungnir and a method for condensing Innate Qi, and offered Killer B a Nine-Sword Style inheritance.
- Wang Hao exposed Hagoromo Clan-linked traitors in the Cloud and identified the Ten Thousand Lightning Stone as a damaged rune of the world’s origin.
- Wang Hao offered A Yotsuki a hammer path inheritance and the Third Raikage weapons and training in exchange for the Cloud’s ores, then provoked the Third Raikage by suggesting his son might be gay.
